However, eth0 is not being started automatically with these parameters (only lo is up). Should there be something in /etc/rc? (I have tried dhcpcd & and ifconfig commands, but neither of these seem to use the kernel command line parameters. DHCP and hardcodec static configuration in /etc/rc work okay.)

I can bring up eth0 manually fine - I'd just like it to start correctly using the passed in parameters automatically at boot.

Thans for any help.

did you disable the kernel autoconf option in the kernel networking settings ?

$ grep CONFIG_IP_PNP linux-2.6.x/.config

CONFIG_IP_PNP=y
